The main reason behind this was to compete with the Ram TRX. It produces 703 horsepower versus the 700 Raptor R. It’s strange that Ford didn’t offer 10 more horsepower to beat the TRX but they have a point. The Raptor R is 400 pounds lighter than the TRX so that three extra horses won’t matter.

Since 2009, the Raptor has been the top dog when it comes to production off-road, and the Raptor R has stepped up the game. But the big question is how much does it cost?

Pricing starts at $61,110 for the V8 and $61,800 for the V6. For the Raptor, that price rises to $76,775. The Raptor R crosses the 100,000th threshold at $109,145.
